About Queen Helene Masque, Mud Pack
I bought four different facial products by Queen Helene during a buy one, get one free sale at Ulta. Although I thought their Refreshing Mint Julep Natural Facial Scrub was just average, I like the Mud Pack quite well.
This product comes in an eight ounce tube. There are no animal ingredients in it and it is not tested on animals. Thumbs up for Queen Helene! The main ingredient is English Clay.
This mask has a nice scent but it's a tad strong for being on the face for 15 minutes. It isn't offputting but I would prefer just a hint of fragrance or none at all. The mask is very creamy and the color of baby poo after a large squash dinner. It's orangey yellow. I think of mud as brown but this is certainly not. It spreads on the face easily, like a very thick lotion. Once on, you just relax and wait for the mask to dry.
After 15 minutes, your face will look like a 150 year old's with cracks all over it. You won't be able to smile. It's fun! The mask feels like it is literally sucking out all the impurities in my face as it dries. Removing the mask is easy and not at all messy like some masks. Simply splash your face with warm water and remove the mask with a washcloth. The remains of the mask dissolve and don't clog up sink drains.
After, my face feels tight, firm, and VERY clean. However, because I do have dry skin, it feels dehydrated. My skin glows though and looks refreshed. I quickly use my thickest moisturizer and all's well. I use the mask about every two weeks. It's very effective and I don't need to suck my pores out more than about twice a month.
Queen Helene Masque, Mud Pack is only $3.99 or less and it really does get deep down and strip the pores of anything hiding in them. If you have dry skin, expect your skin to feel tight but moisturizer after relieves that feeling.
My Viewpoint
I am a fan of all natural skin care when I can get it but Queen Helene Masque, Mud Pack has a minimum of crazy chemicals and is so inexpensive! It works well. Those with oily, combination, or normal skin will love it. Those with dry or fragile skin may find that the mask is too drying for them. Still, even with my dry skin, I can use this mask and rehydrate. I like knowing my face is completely free of junk that hides in my pores. Oh, an my pores look TINY after use and for days after. 4 stars.
